Anderson at 12 months

These pictures were taken on Anderson's actual birthday while breakfast was being served at 6am. He wouldn't stand still for a picture, so sissy had to hold him down.

We went to the doctor back in August to get his stats and a checkup: 
Weight: 21 lb, 8 oz (54%)
Height: 29.75 in (46%)
Head: 18.8 in (90%)
Somehow this sweet boy still only has 4 teeth (2 on top and 2 on bottom). He has huge knots on top and bottom where it appears his molars are about to come in, but it's been that way for a while. No worries, that hasn't stopped him from eating. He is our best eater yet. A Gerber cereal bar is just a breakfast appetizer for this growing boy. The nice thing is that right now he pretty much eats big meals, which keeps him from grazing all day and snacking on junk. He's also a great sleeper! If he has it his way, he's in bed around 7:30. When given the chance, he loves to sleep in. He's even slept til 9 and 10 a time or two! Talk about CRAZY! The girls have internal alarm clocks that go off at 6am sharp! He transitioned off of bottles pretty easily and took right to a sippy cup. As expected, getting down to one afternoon nap has been a little tricky, but on days he goes to school Mom puts him down for a nap early about 7:30 before he goes to school. His all boy personality has come out this past month. He loves balls, playing outside, and exploring anything he can explore. His sweet curls are to die for! He has been a little rough, but I blame some of that on Payton and Harper and wrestling him (which he loves)! His nickname is bruiser. That sweet little face keeps some type of bruise or knot on it these days. I just can't believe he's not our tiny little baby any more, but then again he's so much fun right now!
